5.0 classic
The Decemberists The Hazards of Love
This album goes beyond any form of storytelling by The Decemberists or any other band for that matter. The combination if Colin Meloy's beautiful lyricism and the band's overall variety of sounds and instruments (and beautiful vocals as well) sets the perfect mood for such a poetic story. They frequently switch musical styles and even take a motif and switch the style in which they play with throughout the album (like The Wanting Comes in Waves, and all 4 parts of The Hazards of Love) No other band can pull this off and I would label this as a modern day classic. It's only about an hour long but by then end you feel emotionally drained as if you just read a book. It's a perfect musical rollercoasterIt's an art, truly. I am personally upset I missed the Hazards of Love tour, but maybe one day it will return or turn into a musical. I am also upset they didn't get any accolades for this. The Decemberists are easily one of the most underrated bands out there.
